Trump Admin Cuts Funding for Reproductive Healthcare

What: The Trump administration sent letters freezing $35 million in federal Title X funding, cutting off access to birth control and cancer screenings in 20 states. This move follows a pattern of jeopardizing reproductive healthcare through policies like redirecting funding to unreliable fertility-based methods and targeting essential clinics for serving marginalized communities.

Key Line: “We know what happens when health care providers cannot use Title X funding: People across the country suffer, cancers go undetected, access to birth control is severely reduced, and the nation’s STI crisis worsens,” said [Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood Action Fund.]
